Basketball: Run and meet the ball

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...

Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards, this is the purpose of this drill.

Player 1 passes to player 2 and sprints inside the key before changing direction and running back out to the free throw line to receive the pass back from player 2.

Player 1 executes a jump shot, gathers the ball and then passes to player 2 who starts the drill off again by passing the next queuing player.

COACHING POINTS

Repeat drill from the opposite side of the court.

Moving to Create Space - Cut Back, Fake and V-Cut

Space: how we'd always like a bit more it on court. Get your team out there recognising how they can get that extra yard of space to give them the freedom to go do their thing!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Run, Fake, Pass and Shoot:

Player 1 passes to player 2 and makes a break forwards before usinga body fake to get free. After the fake the player then accelerates to the elbow of the free throw line where they receive the ball, shoots and if necessary follow up with a rebound shot.

Player 1 then passes to player 2 who throws the ball to the next player in line before joining the back of the queue. Player 1 replaces player 2 and the drill continues.

Shooting

Pass Run and Shoot:

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and makes a V cut run, running towards the elbow of the free throw line before cutting in to meet the pass.

When player one receives the pass from they shoot from where they caught the ball.

If they miss they may follow up with a rebound before playing an outlet pass to player 2 who then passes the ball back into the line of players before joining the back of the queue.

Player 1 now takes player 2's role and the dril continues.
